If the corner points of the bounded feasible region for a Linear Programming Problem (LPP) are \(A(0,2), B(3,0), C(2,3)\) and \(D(3,1)\), then the maximum value of the objective function \(Z=4 x+2 y\) occurs at

  1. A \((0,2)\) only
  2. B the mid-point of the line segment joining the points \((2,3)\) and \((3,1)\) only
  3. C \((2,3)\) and \((3,1)\) only
  4. D every point on the line segment joining the points \((2,3)\) and \((3,1)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) every point on the line segment joining the points \((2,3)\) and \((3,1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Z(0,2) = 4(0) + 2(2) = 4\) \(Z(3,0) = 4(3) + 2(0) = 12\) \(Z(2,3) = 4(2) + 2(3) = 14\) \(Z(3,1) = 4(3) + 2(1) = 14\) The maximum value occurs at every point on the line segment joining the points \((2,3)\) and \((3,1)\).
